Racquetball or Racketball

The name seems to vary between countries. In the U.K. The favoured name is Racketball, but in North America Racquetball seems to be used. You can use whichever name you prefer, but Racquetball will mainly be used on this website.

Interest in this game has increased in the last few years, and players could appreciate some further information. This will initially be concerned with strings, but further information should be added later.

String Selection

Whichever string you select, must provide consistent performance over the lifetime of the string.

Not all strings meet this essential basic requirement

A low cost string that needs replacing after a short time does not represent good value.

Racquetball Strings

Basic

A type of string usually known as Synthetic Gut is probably the best all-round string to use. The performance is good, and durability is not normally a problem in Racquetball.

Intermediate

The new Tecnifibre XR1 string offers good performance and comfort. There are several gauges available, and the 1.25mm (17 gauge) is recommended.

Advanced

There should be one string selected later this year following testing. The expected date is mid January to early February.
